What is the closed-form expression for the below sum of Geometric Progression (GP) sequence‚ S n ? S n a aR aR 2 ... aR n (1) where R is called the common ratio (between consecutive terms) of the GP sequence. The reason why we want to derive a closed-form expression for S n is for the sake of calculating the summation‚ or otherwise we need to add all terms one-by-one together‚ which does not make a sense if the number of terms is huge‚ say a million terms! Most importantly

POLYNOMIALS IN DAILY LIFE Polynomials are a combination of several terms that can be added‚ subtracted or multiplied but not divided. While polynomials are in sophisticated applications‚ they also have many uses in everyday life. Although many of us don’t realize it‚ people in all sorts of professions use polynomials every day. The most obvious of these are mathematicians‚ but they can also be used in fields ranging from construction to meteorology. Polynomials in Construction and Material

2.2.1 Reed-Solomon Codes Irving Reed and Gus Solomon [37] on January 21‚ 1959‚ submitted a paper which was published in June 1960 in the Journal of the society for Industrial and Applied mathematics with the title “Polynomial codes over certain finite fields”. This paper introduced a new class of error correcting codes that are now called Reed-Solomon codes. Reed-Solomon codes[38][39] are constructed and decoded by using finite field arithmetic. Finite fields were the discovery of French mathematician

P4 interpret underpinning concepts relating to structures under load • Dead loads - Dead loads are loads that stay static or stationary‚ they will also not change during any normal operation of the buildings use. The dead weight from the structure will be a dead load‚ so for example the self-weight of a beam. • Imposed/live loads – imposed loads can also be known by dynamic loads. Imposed loads are live loadings which can be added to and also removed during the life of the building. Humans can be

The Use of Algebra in our Daily Life. 1. Algebra is a method of calculating using simple equations to represent quantity and to show relation between them. Algebra is also a part of our life‚ we use it on measuring the length of our table‚notebooks‚doors and other more. Another concept of mine is measuring capacity‚In school we always measure the right amount of ingredients that we cook. Because to an culinary student like me we are showing how to measure the exact amount of ingredients that
